Eagles are not a typical Christmas Card - but it's the mascot for our school, and my husband is on the school board.. so the School Board Christmas Cards this year were an eagle. :-)

What I Read In December
It took me all year to finish the History Of Lycoming County. :-) I have two more large history books in progress, I should be able to finish those in 2024. The Lost Library is a cute YA book. Murder In A Manger and Murder at An Irish Christmas were ok enough that I may check out others in the series. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by Hannah's version of Poirot, and I look forward to reading the first 4 in that series. Bill Bryson's History Of Christmas (audiobook only I think?) was REALLY good.

Twice a year I volunteer at a Christmas Bingo (Christmas in July, and Christmas in December) for a local state hospital. One of the other volunteers makes this puffy corn for the event, and it's THE most requested recipe, by all of the other volunteers.
The Winter Menu Plan
I menu plan seasonally, rather than weekly. More of an outline of our favorites, than specific meals... here's a closer look at this winters plan:
On The Farm:
It's been mostly rain here again this month - SO much rain this year. But we did have one light snow the first week of the month.
The Current Hay Art - We currently have both a reindeer (with light up nose) and a snowman. They may stay up for awhile... I don't have ideas for spring just yet. :-)
Dan has covered my tractor in Christmas lights, in the front pasture, for the past few years. With all of the new cows, we couldn't put it in the pasture this year - so we moved it up by the shed and added a "tree" from the flag pole.
